Geri Halliwell: 'Reading changed my life'
We love reading to our kids, particularly the twins - they're at that age now where they just listen and they love Dora The Explorer - they just get it and say "Daddy, read...you have to!" I say 'No I have to go for a run," and they say "No, Daddy, read!"
Reading is probably the most important thing you can do in your life. It communicates everything that happens around you. If you can read - you have the power to get on in life... please everyone, pick up a book and start reading. I always loved reading to my daughter and she loved me reading to her and it's one of the nicest things you can do for a child and if you do it and start early, you'll get them interested in reading so that's why it's really important to read to you children.
Reading books means everything to me. It's a way of opening up worlds you didn't even know were there... Read - it's the best thing you can do.
Reading is simply a gateway to all kinds of other worlds.
I have two children and ten grandchildren so reading comes in really, really handy - cos children love to hear simple stories, they love to hear repeated stories and they love to read them, themselves. The feeling that they've achieved something when they have read something - it's just marvellous and it's a marvellous thing to watch as well.
I was always a reader - my mum and my grandparents got me reading when I was very, very young... so for me, I can't envisage life without reading, it's an integral part of my life.
Reading is really important to me and I read to my son every single night - I think it's important to capture children's imagination. I think it's important to have a good vocabulary. I think it's important to engage in stories.
Reading to me is the same as breathing, almost. I can't imagine not having a book on the go. I can't imagine growing up without books... Reading just fulfils you as a human.
I should read more, actually. I'm not as good as I should be, but if I do pick up a book it's usually a biography, usually a sporting biography. I just love a true story.
I've always been a veracious reader - my parents encouraged me when I was very little to read and it became a sort of 'badge of honour' with me really. I just loved the adventure, I loved getting lost in other worlds. It could be one of the reasons I've ended up becoming an actor really. My favourite two books are 100 Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez... it's just truly wondrous. John Irving wrote a book called The World According To Garp - he's sort of a modern-day Dickens.
Reading takes you to a place where you can really use your imagination, but more than anything, reading is important to me to be able to read to my young children and reading to them before bed is the most special time of day for me.
